Thank you, Liz 🙂 There were quite a few of them growing out a willow dead fall. Awkward to get to because the ground was boggy and full of nettles and hidden soggy trainer traps, and this trio were the most accessible.

I was thinking scallop shells before I saw your caption, but turkey tail seems an appropriate name!

Thank you, Helen 🙂 You are now the third one to compare them to shells, which they do look like.

So beautiful. Like agate slices as well as shells and turkey tails.

Oddly I don’t see many of these around here so it was quite nice when I stumbled across them near the river.
